"I just tasted the blood," said 18-year-old Patrick D'Labik, remembering the moment Detective Kevin McGowan stomped D'Labik's back, sending his face into a convenience store floor.

McGowan told police internal affairs investigators that he stomped D'Labik's back because he was not obeying commands.

The incident, in late December of last year, began when McGowan stopped D'Labik, who was walking near 38th Street and McDowell Rd. McGowan wanted to ask D'Labik if he had any information about a homicide suspect.
